Luke Abbott - Translate (2020) [Hi-Res]

Couldn't be more excited to welcome the esteemed Mr. Luke Abbott to the Dinked Family, every new release from him is a cause for celebration at Drift HQ.
'Translate' is the first solo artist album in six years from Norfolk synthesizer specialist 'Luke Abbott': a strikingly direct and assured return to the solo music-making game following a productive diversion into live improvisation with his experimental jazz trio Szun Waves.

At times dark and ominous, others bright and welcoming, these eleven electronic vignettes form a dramatic and undeniably cinematic body of work which functions as a fitting widescreen soundtrack to our new now.

The lumbering rhythms, strident synths and distinctive touchstones of 'Translate' represent a musical reconciliation with the directness of the wave-making rolling synth-kraut of Abbott’s forthright debut 'Holkham Drones'.

Newly-reinvigorated and with a new sense of musical purpose, this is Luke Abbott’s sound fully realised and never so sure of itself.
